Reaching Your Child's Heart When They Disobey

When it comes to correcting a child's behavior, author Ginger Hubbard believes that it's not really effective to use tactics like bribing, threatening, counting to three, or making excuses for the bad behavior. She explains why on this Focus on the Family broadcast as she encourages parents to instead go after their child's heart using tried-and-true Bible-based principles. Ginger covers topics like the dangers of scolding rather than using Biblical reproof, helping kids learn to resolve conflict Biblically instead of arguing/tattling, and the benefits of teaching in the context of the moment.
